I am still having trouble with the new alarming on 7.6.1. I am trying to filter the alarms by the tag path for different areas of our production. I have tried using the first part of the tag path with the “\*” wildcard and I have tried it in the Source filter, Display Path filter, and Search String.

Thanks.

Nevermind. I figured it out. It does filter when you use the wildcard on the Search string filter. I had to change the Journal name from to the journal name and I had my date range wrong.  
Thanks.
